partial acceptance of the facts denounced by the […] Commission [and the] alleged
[violation] of Articles 8 and 25 of the [Convention,] in relation to the obligation
enshrined in Article 1(1) [thereof].” However, it filed a preliminary objection related

“the facts which constitute the denounced infringements of the rights contained in
Articles 4, 5, 17, 18, and 19 of the Convention […] occurred between December 6
and 8, 1982, and the acceptance of the Court’s contentious jurisdiction […] occurred
